It's official. I am addicted to taking photos of people taking photos of the Cherry Blossom. A short-lived addiction, as it is all over in a weeks time, but it sure is a fun week. These ten photos are from my third visit, and guess what, I visited a few more times, so more Cherry Blossom scenes to come ..read more

Photographers, never happy. The poor soldiers from the Swedish army all had to take orders from the Canon guy, as they should of course. As witnessed at Skeppsbron a couple of days ago ..read more

A mix of recent street scenes from around Stockholm. It was "mösspåtagning" in Stockholm a few days ago.Student cap day. The city was filled with soon to graduate secondary school students drinking beer all day long. They continued to do that for the rest of the day, evening and night. Here they are at Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm. I read a news report where local police asked the parents to pick up their drunk kids, so it sounds like a day to remember! The guy wanting a revolution was trying to get more recrutes at Hamngatan, where I also spotted the happy girls with the big bag and what ha ..read more

Pro tip. If you are in Stockholm on a Saturday looking for photo opportunities I can highly recommend a visit to Stadshuset. City Hall, as there are normally a few wedding parties there. Oh, and a heads up. I am waiting for a new router for wireless broadband, should have made the switch 18 months ago, but that never happened for some unknown reason. So my internet connection is a bit wobbly at the moment as Telia, my provider is shutting down the old network ..read more

The month of May is finally here. If you live in Sweden, this is most likely your favorite time of the year. We call it sköna maj. May the beautiful. The light is back. The days are so much longer. It is warm again after the cold Winter. And most importantly, everything is getting green again. Although this time around, everything feel a bit delayed. Anywho, I took my first bike ride of the year to Nynäshamn, a port city on Södertörn. I visited three beaches. Met two women who asked me if I was going for a swim, I was not! But I sat down and ate my lunch next to them at Nickstabadet. I then c ..read more

I have been known to photograph a lot of windows. So much so that local doors started to complain about it, so I will try to make amends with this door post, pun intended. The first door is a favorite. Located at Norr Mälarstrand on Kungsholmen. Notice how the pot plants have the address written on them! Next one shows one of very few modern buildings in the old town. Mind your head. Still in the old town this is the entrance to Von der Lindeska huset. Here is my rant about the fourth photo. Most of the buildings in the Old Town dates back a bit. The name kinda gives it away. There are a lot ..read more

A tourist insisting on a close-up photo of a dog in the old town. The owner striking a pose and explaining to his friend that everyone wants a photo of the dog. Young and old on a park bench at Stureplan. It was their similar style of clothing that made me take the shot. A colorful woman crossing the street at Nybroplan. A happy woman smartphoning at Stortorget. A group of people waiting at a stop light at Strandvägen. Champion cyclist with a posh looking leather bag eying the Gucci store where he will buy another posh bag. Mother and daughter trying to find a shop at Biblioteksgatan. A well ..read more

Not dead, but murdered. Alexey Navalny memorial next to the Russian embassy at Fria Ukrainas plats. At Marieberg on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. There is a bus stop here that now is called Fria Ukrainas plats. It has a big Ukrainian flag on it ..read more

I took the bike over to a tiny island in Stockholm called Lilla Essingen. Parked at a marina, took a photo of a few boats before walking along the shore and the boardwalk snapping away left and right, and here are the photos. The second photo shows the suburb Gröndal. Still in Gröndal on the third photo, but up on a hill called Ormberget. A century ago, the houses here were built for the working class. The cupola on the top building were often used as a landmark by sailors passing through Lake Mälaren below the hill. Next we see a few apartment buildings on another island, Reimersholme. Färgf ..read more
